Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2009135870A1] The present invention relates to a pulse shaper, comprising a first and a second dispersive element, wherein an optical pulse can be coupled to the pulse shaper (1) along a coupling direction such that said pulse exits from the pulse shaper after passing through the first and the second dispersive element along an exit direction, and the first and second dispersive element are adapted to be moveable relative to one another and disposed in such a way that the path length to be traversed by the optical pulse through the first and the second dispersive element after coupling to the pulse shaper can be adjusted without any change in a displacement (?y) between the coupling direction and the exit direction. According to the invention, the first and the second dispersive element are disposed in such a way that the shape of the optical pulse experiences a change as the pulse travels through the pulse shaper (1), said change being caused primarily or exclusively by the group velocity dispersion occurring during passage through the first and/or the second dispersive element.
